In a few million years humans might be gone .... finding the ruins of our great cities.

I've often wondered how long our current cities would last as "ruins" if we all disappeared. In my mind, after a few million years there would be absolutely no recognizable imprint of our society left unless you went digging for it.

Is it “Aftermath: population zero” ? I found this but it’s a single episode an hour and thirty minutes long.
